Rather than stand up and fight against the wannabe dictator, Arizona
Senator Jeff Flake (R) decided it was best to
run away and hide as he announced he will not seek re-election
for another term. He did show his true feelings toward the
President as he ripped him on the Senate floor, but that only
demonstrates his weakness. If he was truly concerned about the
direction of the country, he would speak out against the president
while seeking another term in office.

Unforunately, Senator Flake apparently does not believe in the three
branches of government. The legislative branch needs to hold
the executive accountable, regardless of party. Flake believes
the opposite; that Republicans in Congress should back their
president or get out of office. In addition, he really doesn't
think he'll win another term, so his 'retirement' announcement is
really about self preservation, like a typical politician.
It's a sad commentary on his thought process. The only
Republicans willing to speak out against this maniacal madman are
either dying (John McCain) or quitting (Bob Corker, Jeff Flake).
The Republicans in Congress need to police their own, and that means
getting rid of Donny out before it's too late.

This is actually a huge win for President Little Hands, regardless
of Flake's comments after the fact. Flake is now seen as the
disgruntled guy who quit his job and rips the company on the way
out. The reality is that Trump is systematically pushing out
all the Republican politicians that disagree with him. What
we'll be left with is a conservative party that is even further to
the right and one that will control the White House for at least the
next three years. With military generals in charge who
apparently should never be questioned and an effort to eliminate any
media that criticizes the dear leader, it won't be long before our
democracy (and elections) disappear into the darkness.
